SoundHound’s “famously fast music recognition” is now even faster in version 5.0, despite tons of new features. You can now enjoy stunning album art and high-resolution photos that look terrific on your Retina display devices.

Accessing your favorite music is now even faster, with a new home screen that features top artists and quick access to your songs. There’s also a new SoundHound Player with a fantastic LiveLyrics feature, which, as you may have guessed, displays lyrics to your songs as you listen to them. Turn your device into landscape mode to see lyrics in fullscreen.

Finally, SoundHound’s user interface has been modified to make it cleaner and easier to use.
